If you are not all in on XLM, you are really fucking up.
Benefits of Stellar:
- ICOs - Smart-contracts - IBM running the world-wide network nodes and shilling Stellar (dashboard.stellar.org/) - Stellar consensus protocol: 1000s tx / second (global scale) - Inflation distributed weekly to those who own XLM (lumenaut.net/)
- Tokenize Assets on Stellar, SF Meatup - 10 April w/ Boris Reznikov - IBM Q1 Earnings - 17 April - BayPay Forum - 19 April w/ Jed McCaleb - Global Money Transfer, Dubai - 29/30 April
Recent Partnership:
- Keybase.io - Blockdaemon.com (Blockdaemon claims Stellar will be *THE* Ethereum of 2018; Blockdaemon backed by Comcast)
Big Things to Watch For:
- Jed claims "interesting" announcement soon; likely IBM's plans with central banks + tokenization of central bank fiat - Official IBM news on their Hyper/Stellar Ledger plans - Stripe BTC replacement announcement circa April - FairX Beta - April/May - Lightyear.io major announcement late March/April
Overarching Goal of XLM (and why it could be worth a ton):
- XLM is Asset-to-Asset Bridge
The list below will be fully operational by year end, ask yourself the price of XLM by then:
>FairX >Central banks onboard >Other assets trading on stellar (talks of reaching 1000 this year) >FX across Asia >Pure Stellar ICOs >ICOs bailing on ETH for Stellar >New IBM clients >New uplifted SDEX interface >Lightning near roll-out
remember when this was trading at > $1? yeah. you should have listened.

You're acting like it's not going to happen again. It's one of the coins to weather this bullshit (even taking hits). With a practical use and tons of investment now it will eventually happen.
I know you are a shill but I just wanted to say to anyone that doesn't know that XLM transfers ridiculously fast and most exchanges have very low fees for it (Binance is fucking nothing while they take 2% of your BTC). Highly recommend using it for moving accounts.
I was in this coin for it's bullrun and it's a solid blue chip but it doesn't have much room to grow.

You are still thinking like December 17.
The reality is 3-4 coins will survive. ICOs are dead, everyone knows they are scams, and 99% of all coins are scams. SEC is prosecuting scams. Shit that will survive needs a network that can handle transactions and has real world partners. So that leaves Bitcoin and stellar and ripple. All the crypto money will eventually centralize into these, except for ripple because people know it's tokens are not actually used for anything.
Andrew Rivera
what about ethereum and the top erc20 tokens? are these safe?
Sebastian Diaz
Eth only used for icos and it got used because Bitcoin was clogged.
Bitcoin isn't clogged and lightning is growing rapidly. Eth will be replaced by stellar. It doesn't have code that gets hacked or has it's users ether disappear. Ether is light-years behind Bitcoin, their 7txs is a joke. Ether strong chance of dying this year.
Luke King
Also, what is a erc20 token with real world partners?
Colton Perry
ok what do you think about this. i know you said you do not like ETH but it still seems to be one of the most popular choices right now. do you really see it dying out? its supporters seem to think it has the most developer interest, but i don't know if they are right or not. honestly your explanation makes a lot of sense but i am still worried that if i drop ETH there is a chance it will take over the #1 spot 45% BTC 5% BCH 30% XLM 10% ETH 10% BAT
Oliver King
well what about BAT? i do not know if it needs partners or not if the browser does well. but i could be wrong.
James Sanchez
and LINK. srlsy
Levi Jones
Nobody is leaving Eth or any other ICO platform for Stellar when Stellar isn't turing complete lmfao.
Landon Cox
what does xlm even do?
Justin Sanders
What good is ethereum if it can't handle anything in the real world? It is a ico token, that's literally it. ICOs are on the decline, what is ethers point now given coins and networks that does it's job infinitely better? This is a fucking joke, right
Samuel Wilson
why anybody would fully go all in on any coin besides Bitcoin is beyond me. Diversifying through cryptocurrency madness is the way to go - just like in any other investment platform. The idea of advocating an all in removes all legitimacy from your post.
t. somebody who owns somewhat even proportions of ~10 coins. I own no Bitcoin and a small amount of XLM because I fell for the IBM meme.
Jayden Reed
I agree on Bitcoin, I would only hold xlm and btc. Xlm has big short term upside potential giving everything coming out for certain this year.
Levi Martinez
It makes Jed feel like a hero who's helping all the poor people in Africa.
I have 10k XLM right now. Waiting for another pump, then I'm out.
Aiden Price
I have about 10k xlm on an exchange. I also have a keepkey that I have not activated yet. Can I store them with the keepkey? Google does not help me.
Caleb Peterson
Put it in stellar wallet and collect inflation, nigger
Juan Phillips
This is a good fucking point, lmfao. Great post bro, OP has no answer for you.
Anthony Baker
you are the same dude who made both posts.
Isaiah Roberts
What are you talking about? I didn't post that, the other guy did.
Angel Lee
XLM pays out? Sorry for the noobish question. I'm usually more diligent than that. But I'm drunk motherfucker!!!!! I'll look more into when I'm sober, :D
Uh... I meant to respond to But ok since we're on about ICO platforms, what do you think about Bancor. How does stellar compare?
Also my question about "collecting inflation" still stands.
Christian Hughes
Actually kik already did and others have as well... They stated their business model depends more on low fast fees and scaling opposed to needing turing contracts. This is why there will be a need for multiple platforms. It's a very good point though and exactly why Eth has that market advantage, but it works both ways.
Jacob Watson
Ya xlm pays out nicely, covers all my tx fees so its essentially feeless if you own enough.
